If you want to present our ideas about evolution as solid, than fine. If you want to present them as very shaky and uncertain than I might disagree, but its also fine, make your argument. But what's not fine is to present them as so solid that anyone who disagrees should be taken seriously, and at the same time present them as shaky, each in turn when it suits the analogy you want to make. I'm not the one being inconsistent. I side with both evolution and AGW, as the science behind each is rock solid, but does not withstand even a casual attempt to prove from a logic standpoint. I'm not the one making stupid logic based analogies to determine if science is bulletproof. I'm well aware of the difference between A & B -> C (T or F) vs inductive data driven arguments for a scientific theory that fits the big picture. Both evolution and climate science have done quite well fitting the big picture. Both are easily denied by anyone claiming that they don't want to understand, and that some unexplained theory might just someday fit instead. If you can't tell that I'm bashing evolution in selected posts to play devils advocate to get you thinking, you are hopeless. So once again, could you provide some details on the objections in climate science and why you don't think there are similar or larger ones in evolution? And please don't claim the CO2/Temp lag is one if the issues. That is gooberville for sure.
